SPHERE SSA-850 RV Automatic 12V Satellite System

Postage & ETA

Description

The Sphere 12v Satellite is especially designed to be used on Australian Recreational Vehicles. It will automatically find the satellite anywhere in Australia with only two options to select from.

The system comes with:
a) The rooftop antenna unit with a large load spreading base.
b) All cables and junction box for installation
c) The In Door Unit (IDU) which is the user interface box with LCD display and control buttons.
d) Installation instructions

You will need a Satellite Decoder to make this work. Either VAST or Foxtel/Auststar Satellite decoders will operate with this Dish.

In addition to a VAST box, you will need to apply for a decoder card through the appropriate federal government agency (currently Australian Communications and Media Authority). You will need to prove you are a traveller as genuine reason for your application to be granted. Access will not generally be granted if you live in a permanent location, such as Melbourne and wish to watch the Channel 7 broadcasts of the SANFL and WAFL via Satellite.

CaravansPlus can not assist you in your application for a VAST card and permit.
